Add Currently Playing Media Image to MediaServiceData

  • Proposal: SDL-0223
  • Author: Joel Fischer
  • Status: Accepted
  • Impacted Platforms: [Core / iOS / Java Suite / RPC]

Introduction

This proposal adds an image for the currently playing media item to the media app service.

Motivation

An image for the media service was originally proposed but unfortunately somehow got lost in the app services shuffle and didn't make it into the RPC spec v5.1.0. We should add in the currently playing item's image to the service.

Proposed solution

Very simply, we add a new parameter to the MediaServiceData RPC struct:

<struct name="MediaServiceData" since="5.1">
    <!-- All existing parameters here -->

    <param name="mediaImage" type="Image" mandatory="false" since="X.X">
        <description>
            Music: The album art of the current track
            Podcast: The podcast or chapter artwork of the current podcast episode
            Audiobook: The book or chapter artwork of the current audiobook
        </description>
    </param>
</struct>
